Pieter Bor or Pieter Christiaensz Bor (1559-1635) was a writer and historian of the Dutch Golden Age. Through his work he had access to city archives in the places he stayed and he transcribed these sources for his history writing. Although he is not registered as a member of a Chamber of Rhetoric, he wrote a few plays that were published in 1617. This stapelspel is based on the same story as Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre. This work, which occupied him for 25 years, was never finished in rhyme, necessary for performances in those days.
